Not On The Label

Felicity Lawrence's Sunday Times bestseller Not on the Label, updated with extraordinary new material on the horsemeat scandal. In 2004 Felicity Lawrence published her groundbreaking book, Not on the Label, where, in a series of undercover investigations, she provided a shocking account of what really goes into the food we eat. She discovered why beef waste ends up in chicken, why a single lettuce might be sprayed six times with chemicals before it ends up in our salad, why bread is full of water, and how obesity, the conditions of migrant workers, ravaged fields in Europe, and supermarkets are all interconnected. Her discoveries changed the way we thought about the UK food industry forever. The new edition delves into the 2013 horsemeat scandal, uncovering how the British public ended up eating horses. Recognized by notable figures such as Jeremy Paxman and Andrew Marr, this book offers a thorough, revealing insight into the modern food industry.
